TOWN & COUNTRY PLANNING ACTS & GENERAL DEVELOPMENT ORDER

In pursuance of the powers vested in the Peak District National Park Authority under the above Acts and Order, and with reference to your application for Full Planning Permission, details of which are as follows:

Office Code No. NP/SM/0306/0228 Date received: 08 March 2006 Proposal: Conversion of barn & store to ancillary accommodation and holiday let Location: Bank Farm Mill Dale Alstonefield Parish: Alstonefield

THE DECISION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT PERMISSION FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT in the manner described on the application and shown on the accompanying plans and drawings is REFUSED for the following reasons:

The National Park Authority has a statutory purpose under the Environment Act 1995 to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Park and to promote opportunities for understanding and enjoyment of the Park's special qualities. Where these aims conflict, the conservation of the Park takes precedence. In pursuing them, the Authority has a duty to foster the economic and social well being of local communities. Consequently it is the policy of the Authority, as set out in the Development Plan (consisting of the 1994 Structure Plan and the 2001 Local Plan), to ensure that the valued characteristics of the National Park will be conserved and enhanced now and for future generations. [Structure Plan (SPP) GS1 and Local Plan (LPP) LC4].

Conservation Policy [SPP] C3 for development in towns and villages states that development should 'respect, not adversely affect and, where possible, enhance the valued characteristics of the area including important open spaces and the wider landscape setting'. It states, furthermore, that 'scale, siting, landscaping and building materials' should be 'appropriate' and that design should be 'to a high standard'. Conservation Area policy C4 also stipulates that development should preserve and where possible enhance the valued characteristics of the Conservation

Attention is called to the notes at the end of this Decision Notice

Form TCP3 Area. Structure Plan policy RT3 states that development which provides tourist accommodation should involve acceptable conversion of traditional buildings.

Conservation Policy [SPP] C2 states that development 'outside the confines of towns and villages will not normally be permitted unless it is necessary for agriculture, forestry, farm diversification, extension of residential buildings, recreation and tourism, mineral working or the conversion of traditional buildings for affordable housing for local needs, provided that the character and setting of the building is not adversely affected'. Structure Plan policy RT3 states that 'development which provides tourist accommodation will normally be permitted provided that it involves extension or improvement of existing built accommodation or acceptable conversion of traditional buildings'. Conservation Area policy C4 also stipulates that development should preserve and where possible enhance the valued characteristics of the Conservation Area. It states furthermore that 'locally distinctive design details including traditional frontage patterns and vertical or horizontal emphasis'.

Local Plan Policy (LPP) LH6 for the conversion of outbuildings within the curtilage of existing buildings states that development may be permitted for ancillary residential uses provided that 'it would not harm the character of the building, the dwelling and the surrounding area', and that 'it would not result in an over-intensive use of the property, an inadequate standard of accommodation or amenity space, or the need to replace outbuildings at a later date'. It states further that, 'Whether or not an outbuilding is suitable for conversion is likely to depend on the size and character of the building and the disposition of the buildings within the site'.

Bank Farm is situated on the northern side of the Milldale to Hopedale Road, at the edge of the settlement of Milldale. The main dwelling has been substantially extended. The existing storage building is a low, roughly constructed stone built building of no architectural merit, with a corrugated iron roof, measuring 9m x 9.5m with a shallow roof pitch. The proposal is to convert the storage building to two bed roomed holiday accommodation. At present in its low lying form the building, whilst not forming an attractive approach to the settlement, is at least subsidiary in form and allows a view of the main dwelling. The ridge height of the existing building, is 2.7m and the proposed ridge height is 5.6m. The proposal would be detrimental to the main dwelling and the wider landscape setting. It would compete with the host building and would be a dominant and visually intrusive built form in the approach to Milldale.

Although the proposal is described as a conversion, a substantial portion of the living accommodation is to be provided by alterations and additions to the storage building. An additional storey would need to be added to more than half the building. The proposal is tantamount to a new build in the open countryside. The Local Plan clearly states in paragraph 3.10 'in the countryside any residential conversion should meet a local need for affordable housing or be for holiday use'. This proposal is not a conversion and therefore it does not meet the criteria in Local Plan Policy LH6 nor does it comply with Structure Plan Policy. STATEMENT OF APPLICANT'S RIGHTS ARISING FROM THE REFUSAL OF PLANNING PERMISSION OR FROM THE GRANT OF PERMISSION SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS

Appeals to the Secretary of State

- If you are aggrieved by the decision of your local planning authority to refuse permission for the proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

- If you want to appeal, then you must do so within 6 months of the date of this notice, using a form which you can get from the Planning Inspectorate at Customer Support Unit, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, telephone No. 0117 372 8000 or www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk.

- The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances which excuse the delay in giving notice of appeal.

- The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the local planning authority could not have granted planning permission for the proposed development or could not have granted it without the conditions they imposed, having regard to the statutory requirements, to the provisions of any development order and to any directions given under a development order.

- In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the local planning authority based its decision on a direction given by him.

Purchase Notices

- If either the local planning authority or the Secretary of State for the Environment refuses permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he can neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor render the land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of any development which has been or would be permitted.

- In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council (District Council, London Borough Council or Common Council of the City of London) or, where the land is situated in a National Park, the National Park Authority for that Park in whose area the land is situated. This notice will require the Council or Authority to purchase his interest in the land in accordance with the provisions of Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Delegated Item Report

Working together to care for a living landscape for everyone The Parish Council welcomes plans to bring redundant farm buildings back into use and to enhance dilapidated buildings. However, it wishes to make the following points in relation to the above application.

1. The building if converted and at two storeys high would be over dominant in the landscape, being the first building approached on the main road into this conservation village. The height of the proposed development is inappropriate for the location.

2. The proposed development would be 'over-development' of the existing building.

3. No 'need' for the proposal has been demonstrated.

4. The building is not a vernacular building.

5. The proposal exploits a loophole by concentrating on references to the shed being less than 10 metres from the main residence. Dear Madam,

Justification Statement

Justification for this development is based on two lines of reasoning:

Firstly that it falls within policies C4, LC5, LH6 & LC5

Secondly that this development is only just beyond that which would be permitted development, yet would be much more desirable than the permitted alternative.

Applying for permission to complete this development in a way which requires Local Authority approval, rather than using permitted rights, gives you the opportunity to approve the design and the detailing, to remove the permitted rights for further development for the site and to enter in to a section 106 agreement giving security against possible abuse.

Both of these arguments will be considered in more detail in this statement, following a brief background.

Background.

Bank Farm is the first building encountered after leaving the public car park and walking to the centre of Milldale, Alstonefield. The buildings consists of the farmhouse itself, which has three bedrooms and is modest in size, one small and two large outbuildings – one timber and one stone. In addition the remains of a further stone building front the highway.

The timber building is sheltered from immediate view by trees, so that the first building which comes in to view and creates the first impression of Milldale is the single storey stone building. This building has been altered over time. It was originally taller with a pitched roof. It is currently almost square in plan and has a very shallow pitched roof of red tin.

The building has previously been used as a garage, store and animal housing. As a result it has an unsightly collection of openings – garage doors, windows etc. Coupled with the shallowness of the current roof pitch, and the roofing material it provides a rather unsightly introduction to the village. Notwithstanding this the building is in good, solid condition.

It is currently used as ancillary accommodation to the house – a playroom, utility area and storage space. The house is occupied by a family with three children. Mr and Mrs Frampton have lived in Milldale for almost 20 years. They purchased this house several years ago, when they had two children. Since then their circumstances have changed, both socially and economically, including the arrival of a third child. They are now seeking to use the barn to provide additional space for their expanded family, guest accommodation and a means of income as a holiday let.

Policy Issues.

Structure Plan policies set the framework for conversion of existing buildings within the curtilage of dwellings. This is to “meet changing economic and social needs”. It stipulates that in the countryside conversion should relate to farm diversification, recreation and tourism or for affordable housing. In settlements a wider range of uses are possible.

The policy goes on to say that “adapting existing buildings can provide a sustainable way of meeting societies changing needs without pressure to add to their number”. There is no requirement that a building has historic or vernacular merit and indeed states that “many buildings may be suitable for new uses”.

This development would do exactly this in making use of an existing building to meet the changing needs of this family as well as for tourism, which is an acceptable usage class in the countryside.

Structure Plan policy C4 – para. 5.6 makes it clear that any change of use to existing buildings should wherever possible meet the requirements for development and that efforts to enhance conservation areas should be taken advantage of where possible in the process.

Given how unsightly the existing building is and that it is the first building to be encountered, this is a genuine opportunity to improve the view in to Milldale. By restoring the pitched roof to the main section of the building and then retaining a ‘lean to’ form for the smaller section, the appearance of the building as a whole will be greatly improved. It will regain the appearance of vernacular farm buildings in a form which is more sympathetic to the location.

The roof would then be clad in Staffordshire blue tiles on the main pitched area, with a lean-to of dark grey tin in traditional style. The use of the two roofing materials means that whilst the main gable area would need to be increased by approximately 30% to gain the necessary pitch, the lean to could remain its existing size and appear greatly subservient.

These changes and the improvements therein can best be appreciated on the perspective sketch on drawing 07/02. Local policy LC5 also looks at how development affecting “important views in to or out of the (conservation) area” should demonstrate how the existing character and appearance would be preserved or enhanced where possible.

This development is on the edge of Milldale, yet it pays regard to the settlement pattern of the village. This is very linear in nature, strung out as it is, along the narrow gorge, with all of the houses having road frontage. This conversion fits with the streetscape and is in harmony with the rest of the settlement.

Local Policy LH6 states that:

“Conversion will be permitted provided it would not harm the character of the building, dwelling or surrounding area and wouldn’t result in over intensive use of the property, inadequate amenity or the need to replace buildings later and the site is large enough to meet parking and access requirements and the new accommodation would remain under the control of the occupier of the main dwelling.”

The proposed conversion at Bank Farm meets all of these requirements.

1. As previously discussed above and demonstrated in the existing photograph and proposed perspective, the conversion would not harm the character of the building or dwelling and would in fact offer the opportunity to improve the appearance of the surrounding area and the view in to the conservation area.

2. Bank Farm has land totalling more than a hectare. Most of this fronts the road and comprises the domestic garden and the outbuildings. This conversion would not therefore be an intensive use of the available property. In addition, Bank Farm is no longer a working farm and as such there is no pressure for the building to be replaced elsewhere.

3. Alongside the above there are demonstrably generous access and parking arrangements. The existing house has a separate drive/parking area big enough for at least three vehicles to park and turn around. There is a separate entrance for the barn and parking space again for a number of vehicles.

4. The clients have no intention of selling the barn as a separate dwelling and would be willing to enter in to a section 106 agreement if required.

Permitted Development

The permitted development rights for Bank Farm are intact. Given the large amount of domestic land available to the owners their options under permitted development rights are currently quite considerable and people with less of a concern for the community and more interest in financial gain may well exploit these possibilities.

This building alone falls within the allowance for permitted development being more than 5 metres from the house, no closer to the highway than the nearest part of the house, no taller than 4 metres high, in domestic use and not resulting in anywhere near 50% coverage of the available domestic curtledge.

It is our opinion that it would be better to improve the appearance of the building for all of the reasons stated previously, but this would necessitate raising it to 6 metres in height, in order to gain sufficient roof pitch to restore the Staffordshire blue tiled roof. Even so the plan has been carefully detailed, so that all of the required space can be gained within the existing footprint. The details have been kept simple and barn like and the opportunity taken to remove insensitive additions such as the garage doors and the windows.

Applying for permission to complete this development in a way which requires Local Authority approval, rather than using permitted rights, gives you the opportunity to approve the design and the detailing, to remove the permitted rights for further development for the site and to enter into a section 106 agreement giving security against possible abuse.

We strongly believe that this is in the best interests of the settlement of Milldale, whilst giving the owners the opportunity to accommodate their changing needs allowable under the policies. Peak District National Park Protected Species Form

The Peak District's wildlife is a valued characteristic that is important to local people and visitors alike. One of the statutory duties of the National Park Authority is to conserve this natural heritage for future generations to enjoy. The Protected species form will both speed up the planning process for applicants and assist in wildlife conservation.
